Paul Bongiorno unleashes today in The Saturday Paper.

Worth a read.

From Mal himself...

I think as we all know, and I say this as a former mediocre rugby player, AFL is the most exciting football code.

Interesting observations about how the US has shifted to the right.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

DD election expected to be called today...

 

[MagpieMariner]

By July 2, we'll all be reminiscing about how exciting the Mariners were this last season.

 

[MagpieMariner]

I meant in comparison to what we will have been subjected to over the previous 2 months.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Disengaged already. A plague on both their houses.

No online voting option so had to apply for postal. Yes folks it 2016 and no online voting.

Even NSW can do that

Slow clap

Some snippet before I fast forward half the news was Labor think they can take both Dobel and Robertson.

Expect a lot of crap, phone calls, door knocks and flyers

I am excited about the sausage sizzle, Bunnings will just have to miss out that day or could get two?

 

[MagpieMariner]

I knew we were going to have the chance to vote long before it was announced. Lucy Wicks was popping her head up down here on the Peninsula. Haven't seen her since the last vote.

lucy from brookvale has a bag full of money from doma

The Government accepted a tender by the Canberra-based Doma Group to build the office block on the old Gosford Public School site, leased by the ATO for $7 million a year over 10 years.

However, a submission tendered by a local developer, Mistlake Investments, together with Gosford Council, would have seen the ATO built next door to the council’s Mann St chambers and leased back to the Government for $2.53 million a year over 15 years.

do the math .

They've got form, look at all the former Lib members who had to retire before the last election (State) because of the smell of corruption about them. Then again, maybe it's endemic on the Coast (Craig Thompson).

thompson inappropriately used a credit card and not while in public office .
he didn't have his hands on brown paper bags .
as chris hartcher and others did including
karen mcnamara who only got off because icac is a state institution .

Loved Barnaby Joyce's conspiratorial statement during 'Regional Leaders Debate', that being that the Australian Goverment's decision- under Gillard, to halt the trade in 'live dogs' had a nefarious direct link to an increase in boat people coming to Australia.

Apparently this bloke, the Indonesian Minister for Pirates is to blame ............

 

[Rowdy]

Johnny just can't seem to let go of his mate Barnaby ........ Depp claims BJ's Mum mated with a tomatoe to produce old Barnaby, hybrid of sorts.

That would make Barnaby a GM crop wouldn't it ??? Not very becoming of a Minister of Agriculture & Nationals Leader, one would think.

Loved this mash up vid from Huw Parkinson (political satirist on YouTube)

Tis such a pity the DP has done everything in its power to stop this guy winning...

 

[dibo]

What, like have him lose by 3 million votes? You reckon they stuffed the basket boxes?
